Latest Scam Trends

The Singapore Police Force observes a trend of phishing scams involving fake websites impersonating UOB Kay Hian. These scam sites, such as 'uobkhs.com', are designed to trick victims into revealing their personal and login information, often for investment or trading accounts.

How to recognise these scams:

• Check the URL carefully: Scammers create websites with URLs that are very similar to the official UOB Kay Hian website, often with slight misspellings or extra characters. Always verify the full URL in your browser's address bar.
• Be wary of unsolicited links: Exercise caution with links received via SMS, email, or social media that claim to be from UOB Kay Hian, especially if they prompt you to log in or update your details. Always access official websites by typing the URL directly into your browser.

What to do if you are affected:

If you suspect you have entered your details on a scam website:

• Immediately change your passwords for your UOB Kay Hian account and any other online accounts that share the same password.
• Contact UOB Kay Hian directly through their official customer service channels to report the incident and seek assistance. Do not use contact details provided on the suspicious website.

The Singapore Police Force has observed a trend of scam websites impersonating our official channels. These fraudulent sites, which have been reported over 110 times, aim to deceive members of the public into revealing personal information or making payments.

Here’s how to recognise these scams:

• Check the website address carefully. Official SPF websites will always use the domain police.gov.sg (e.g., www.police.gov.sg). Scammers use unofficial or slightly altered URLs, often with generic-sounding words or numbers, like hare-fan8702.workers.dev.

• Add security features: Change your online banking and email passwords immediately. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for all your accounts.

The Singapore Police Force has observed a recent surge in investment scams impersonating CNA. Scammers are using fake websites and advertisements bearing the CNA brand to trick victims into believing they are legitimate investment platforms. These fraudulent schemes often promise high returns with little to no risk, luring individuals into depositing money.

Here's how to recognise such scams:

If you suspect you have encountered such a scam, or have already provided your personal or financial details:

• Stop All Communication: Cease all contact with the scammers immediately.
• Check and Verify: Before making any investment decisions, always verify the authenticity of investment opportunities with official sources. For CNA, check their official website or social media channels directly.
